In 2009 I began to create paintings on clear plastic, with transparent and translucent colorfast paints, my style varies from completely abstract to realism and impressionistic imagery. I paint with the conscious intention of healing, of “mending spirit”.

I began by bringing my work into individual hospital rooms, hospice settings, palliative care and rehabilitation centers. I gave pieces to individuals who were home healing from loss or injury. After the response I received I decided to create an exhibit that would go from location to location with the intention of freely sharing the work with the community.

It has been very moving to find that my work aides healing by bringing color into environments where everyone is working hard to heal, stay well, keep their spirit intact, alive and strong. I have found that the positive effect of this work is not exclusive to health care related environments.

I currently have a large collection of these paintings and they are being exhibited in local rehabilitation and resident centers, hospice care, shelters and community centers around the Philadelphia area. Each exhibit lasts three months and the paintings are placed everywhere; activities rooms, eating areas, hallways, even in resident rooms.
